Safety Index:Very low

Case summary

The player from Germany had repeatedly requested the permanent closure of her account due to gambling addiction, but the casino continued to ignore her requests and sent standardized messages instead. She felt frustrated as the live chat had not provided any assistance, and the same issue occurred with affiliated casinos. The Complaints Team had been unable to proceed with the investigation due to her lack of response to inquiries, and the complaint was closed for the time being. The player retained the option to reopen the complaint in the future if she chose to resume communication.

Translation

I have repeatedly requested the permanent closure of my account due to gambling addiction, but my requests have been ignored. I keep receiving the same standardized messages asking me to fill out and return a form (the maximum duration for the offered exclusion is 3 months).

Even the live chat is no help. I just want to block my account, what's so difficult about that? It's the same with the other sister casinos. They refuse to comply with my request.

Dear Hereforyou,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Hotloot Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Have you tried contacting support after you learned your self-exclusion request wasn't granted?
  • Could you please share your self-exclusion requests with me? Please share the information to my email at [email protected].
  • Could you please advise when was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?

As part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we've partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).

BetBlocker, which supports seven languages, is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,230 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods. 

Additionally, BetBlocker includes a list of 824 gambling information sites. These sites primarily inform users about and advertise gambling services. You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.
